A freak "boom" in the middle of the night set off car alarms and woke 
residents.

Student Jason North, 23, was one of several people to be disturbed by 
the noise heard along the south coast in the Peacehaven area at 1am 
today.

Mr North, from Telscombe Cliffs, said: "It was like a sonic boom. It 
sounded a long way off but it made enough force to make the car alarms 
go off."

Residents in Saltdean and Peacehaven also reported hearing the noise.

Police, fire and coast guard services were at a loss to explain the 
incident. They said there had been no reports of any explosions on 
land or at sea.
